Discounted hotel rooms are available for the 12/30 show. For rooms please call the Holiday Inn in Bridgeport, CT at 203.334.1234 and ask them for the $79 FTC Rate, by mentioning Dark Star Orchestra.

I'm a big Dead fan and, even though I'm too young to have caught them in their heyday, I love their stuff from the seventies. Do you think I'd like Darkstar? I've noticed that they play locally, but the shows are pretty expensive. Are they worth the $30?
